Is there enough good content to make it worthwhile? I haven't downloaded a movie in months, the latest offerings are so unappealing.
Find better sources. If you're not seeing something you want in the places you know about, put in more effort. You're not gonna find shit from a google search.
As for myself, I hopped on Usenet and ditched torrents almost entirely. Far better selection of pretty much everything.
I'm even more lazier than that. Pirate subscription. It's still a subscription, but I'd argue the 10 dollars a month is worth my time to type an obscure tv show I've suddenly remembered into my TV, with one eye open at 2am. I've got nothing against a subscription or two, but I certainly am getting sick and tired of like a dozen of them.
That's my take. I subscribe to the whole "piracy is a convenience issue" mindset. If you're gonna make me pay for 12 different subscriptions just so I can have access to a few decent shows, I'm cancelling everything and just pirating it. Fucking greedy-ass companies are never happy until they get all the revenue.
I do not get how us3n3t is still operating. Amazing.
No clue what us3n3t is, but Usenet is doing great.
Us3n3t is wild for sure. I mean they've wrote the textbook on how staying obscure is the ultimate approach to success with most things. And it just functions. Plus the need for a bit of knowledge acts as almost an intelligence test to keep the morons (and the people who can wreck it) out.
The source isn't the issue, it's the quality of the art. I used to download TV shows, haven't seen anything worth watching besides the odd episode of Abbott Elementary.
That or just sure numbers. It kind of feels like when we got satellite as a kid. I spent two days of scrolling the guide before realizing I hadn't watched a single thing. I was like great, we now have 500 channels of TV, but my life still sucks.
I’ve switched to a lot of foreign media tbh. Irish television is killing it right now for example.
